Wow!!! what a change. We brought him home and put him in a very nice cozy cage, with plenty of food , fresh water and toys. We gave him lots of ferretone to lick of our fingers (through the cage bars) in order to let him associate human smell with good things. Today we woke up and gave him some more ferretone off our fingers and...........we can actually handle him, carry him in our hands and he almost wont bite :-) Once in a while he'll place his teeth on us and start biting but its not those nasty cobra strikes any more. :-) AND ALL THAT ONLY IN 24 HOURS! This is very very satisfying to know he was just panicked with humans but quickly understood we want only the best for him. BTW, we named him Polo. I guess that incident turned us into the First Israeli Ferret Shelter (F.I.F.S) LOL! more update will come soon. Sig & Yaniv Rottenber Tel-Aviv, Israel [Posted in FML issue 2410]
